Introducing Knol: Context Engineering for AI Applications
Today we're open-sourcing Knol — a Rust-native context engineering platform that gives LLM applications persistent memory with sub-5ms latency, powered by a single PostgreSQL database.
Updates, technical deep dives, and research from the Knol team.
Today we're open-sourcing Knol — a Rust-native context engineering platform that gives LLM applications persistent memory with sub-5ms latency, powered by a single PostgreSQL database.
The industry is shifting from simple memory to context engineering — assembling the right information at the right time. Here's why this matters and how Knol is built for it.
A deep dive into Knol's adaptive retrieval engine: intent classification, Reciprocal Rank Fusion, and how we combine three search signals for sub-5ms results.
How Knol's extraction pipeline uses prompt caching, batching, model routing, and deduplication to cut LLM costs by 75% without sacrificing quality.
Why we modeled Knol's memory system after human cognition — with decay scoring, conflict resolution, and bi-temporal knowledge graphs.
Step-by-step guide for teams migrating from Mem0 or Zep to Knol. Same API patterns, better performance, no vendor lock-in.
